the 95 has a few differences from my 87, but I think all of these are discussed in more detail in the archives, so you might want a search as well. On mine, the main dome light assemply is slid sideways to one side (forget which way, but it only moves in that direction) until the clips are visible, and then is tilted/swivled to the side and down until it is clear and the bulbs are exposed.

The shift gate requires lifting up the center console around the shifter. I believe his has the storage box unlike mine, so that is more involved, but is also in the archives.

The headlight switch has a bulb behind the panel. the switch pulls off on mine, a nut behind the switch is removed, and the panel is slid to one side and swivled away from the dash for removal and change of bulbs. This one is also in the search engine, particularly under the Euro light self levelling switch discussion.

I don't know if my rear window switch lights are working or not (or even there!) I don't get much use out of the back seat any more

Before you start tearing the doors apart to replace the switches, try turning the child proof switch off. On the 560, I found with the child proof on, the rear switches have no power and do not illuminate the mini bulbs in the switches.

1. dome light - done. Easy-peasey as the archives indicate.
2. shifter gate - light works fine, Bro-in-law must have been into the good stuff the night it was 'out'
3. lighting switch light- this one's still stumping us....

Out of curiousity, I went to check on my own W124 after telling hime what I found here and noticed the same thing he does: Pulling out on the switch (in the 'off' position) meets with hard resistance as to make one not want to break the switch and let go, when a spring action snaps the switch back flush into its recess. Are we being chicken in not pulling hard enough?

My W123's light switch is easily removeable as stated in the above thread, but our late model 124's aren't as cooperative. Any more help for we special folks is much appreciated

dieseldude and freestyler:

Stop pulling on those headlight switches! If you look up at the knob from below, you will see a very small slot where you must insert a small srewdriver. Just put a little pressure on the screwdriver as you pull on the knob.
